Started in 04,

I remember merching at W2 Fally prior to GE, each item had it's own area in fally to sell at:
Whips in the northern part of the garden, barrows just a little west of that.
Dlegs/Dskirts southeast of whips.
Partyhats were north of whips behind the fally wall.
Unidentified herbs just outside the bank to the east.
etc.

Cooking and fletching used to be the only "easy" skills.

Hoardes of the default looking level 3 bots at Draynor Swamp Yews, and Catherby Flax patch.
Luring level 3 flax bots to the bats by wearing the light blue gloves because it looked like their flax.

N0valyfe, Yogosun, Zezima, The Old Nite were relevant

As far as trendy outfits go,
-Legends Cape and whip for sure. Or fire cape. Noobs called it lava cape.
-Full guilded, santa/hween
-Infinity robes
For the rich,
3rd age Mage/Melee + Phat

Max strength bonus outfit back then was
Whip, Dragon Defender, Fighter torso, Neitz Helm, Rune Boots
Barrows Gloves, Strength Ammy, D Legs

Miss the old days :'(

Getting barrows gloves and being like... "my questing road is complete. I'm serious business now"

Beating monkey madness and getting that awesome looking d scim was a pretty big deal too.

Taxi!

People announcing, then using, group teleports.

I seem to recall "All aboard for [location] in 1 minute" being used for teleports, and "Taxi for [location]" being used for walk/run transport.

I have so many memories of taxi services. I made quite a few friends chatting to people on taxi services. Some of them I still have on my friend's list, though they've all since quit. :(

Now we teleport here, and teleport there. I'm not sure there's anywhere left in the world which is more than what 100 squares away from a teleport location. I do miss walking around and just passing people randomly. On "slow days" I still walk/run town to town. :)
If you only do what you can do, you will never be more than you are now.

I remember walking on sideways/footpath only for months when I started playing, until friends started making fun of me
